The 5700 block of Browntown Road has been closed to traffic this afternoon and will stay closed until Friday afternoon because of a cave-in at a pipeline construction area, according to the Chattanooga traffic engineer's office.

Rebecca LeVally of the traffic engineer's office said crews were repairing a storm drain when small cave-in occurred. That interfered with placing a metal plate across the road so traffic could use it. No injuries or damage were reported, she said.
